Title: Cossie now gone
Post by roger_howes on Feb 8^th, 2011, 2:29pm

Hello all,

Sad days, my Cossie estate failed its MOT hopelessly - mainly body rot but other things too. Repairs would have cost more than the car is worth. So, I passed her on as scrap.

Have now got a Subaru Outback, but I miss the Cossie, and I had it longer than other car I've owned.

Cheerio all, have enjoyed your correspondence.

Roger.

Sorry to hear that Roger.

Is the Scorpio cubed already or is there a chance someone could get it for spares?

Hello Highlander,

Someone has taken it for the same amount the scrappie would have given me. I think he's just parked it up!

He'd been after it for a long time. It wasn't leather, but it ran like dream. Not so long ago I had the timing chains, sprockets, guides, etc all changed - cost me £2000, so didn't really get the value out of that. It had done only 80K.

Ho-hum!

Regards.

Roger.

Hi roger, sorry to hear of your cars sad demise.... hopefully another will live on using donor parts. Those chains etc. would have been worth the £200 on their own!

Sorry for delay in replying - have had hols plus busy.

I do have the full Cosworth gasket set, which includes the head gasket - cost me over £200.

The only bits missing are those used for the timing chain cover and rocker cover when replacing the chains.

If anyone's interested, make me an offer.

Regards.

Roger.
